Abraham  Lincoln  said  in  his 
famous  “Lost  Speech”  before  the 
first  Republican  state  convention 
in  Illinois: 

“There  is  one  desire  which  is 
uppermost  in  the  mind,  one  wish 
common  to  us  all — to  which  no 
dissent  will  be  made;  and  I  coun¬ 
sel  you  earnestly  to  bury  all  re¬ 
sentment,  to  sink  all  personal  feel¬ 
ing,  make  all  things  work  to  a 
common  purpose  in  which  we  are 
united  and  agreed  about,  and 
which  all  present  will  agree  is  ab¬ 
solutely  necessary.”

The  Start  of  the  “New  Party” 

- of  1856 - 


As  the  Progressive  party  sprang  into  existence  in  1912  to  meet  the  demand  of  the  people 
for  a  “new  party”  standing  cleanly  and  aggressively  on  the  supreme  issue  of  the  day,  exactly 
so  sprang  up  the  Republican  party  in  the  year  1856. 

The  first  gatherings  of  the  “new  party”  of  half  a  century  ago  parallel  the  first  gatherings 
of  the  “new  party”  of  the  present  so  closely  as  to  make  their  history  of  vivid  interest  today. 
The  first  national  Republican  meeting  was  a  conference  at  Pittsburg  on  February  22,  1856;  the 
first  national  Republican  convention  took  place  in  June  of  the  same  year  at  Philadelphia. 
Both  were  full  of  the  spirit  of  militant  protege  that  inspire  Progressives  today;  both  showed 
the  same  triumph  over  the  troublous  questions  of  ways  and  means. 

The  Pittsburg  conference  inevitably  suggests  the  first  Progressive  national  meeting  at 
Orchestra  Hall  at  the  close  of  the  recent  Republican  National  convention  on  June  22,  1912. 
Of  its  first  day’s  work  Horace  Greeley  wired  by  “magnetic  telegraph”  to  the  New  York  Trib¬ 
une:  “The  Republican  Convention  has  completed  its  first  day’s  session,  and  has  accomplished 
much  to  cement  former  political  differences  and  distinctions,  and  here  to  mark  the  inaugura¬ 
tion  of  a  national  party  based  on  the  principle  of  Freedom.  The  gathering  is  very  large  and 
the  enthusiasm  unbounded.  Men  are  acting  in  the  most  perfect  harmony  and  with  a  unity 
of  feeling  seldom  known  to  political  assemblages  of  this  magnitude.  Its  moral  and  political 
effect  will  be  felt  for  the  next  quarter  of  a  century.” 

From  this  conference  issued  a  national  convention  call  “To  The  People  of  the  United 
States,  without  regard  to  past  political  differences  or  divisions.”  And  in  response,  the  first 
national  Republican  convention  assembled  at  Philadelphia,  June  17,  1856.  It  was  called  to 
order  by  the  Hon.  Edwin  D.  Morgan  of  New  York,  chairman  of  the  provisional  national  com¬ 
mittee,  wlio  named  a  temporary  chairman.  He  had  to  do  it.  There  was  no  one  else  in  au¬ 
thority  to  “start  things.”  Had  he  known  that  this  innocent  action  was  to  give  the  excuse  of 
“precedent”  to  the  national  committee’s  “steam  roller1'  fifty-six  years  later,  Mr.  Morgan  might 
have  dodged  the  duty. 

All  through  this  first  convention  the  creation  of  these  precedents — steps  then  honorable  and 
necessary  to  fulfilling  the  will  of  the  delegates — throws  curious  light  upon  the  usurpation  of 
power  by  a  later  national  committee  to  defeat  the  will  of  the  delegates.  It  was  necessary 
then,  for  instance,  to  appoint  a  national  committee  to  take  charge  of  the  next  convention;  but 
not  one  of  the  earnest  and  conscientious  pioneers  could  . possibly  forsee  that  this  “hold  over” 
title  to  office  would  be  employed  to  force  upon  the  convention  of  1912  an  unrepresentative 
majority. 

There  were  real  problems,  too,  for  the  credentials  committee  of  1856,  but  they  were  honest¬ 
ly  settled.  The  basis  of  representation  was  three  times  the  electoral  vote  of  a  state,  but  al¬ 
most  all  the  northern  states  sent  far  more  than  their  legal  number  of  delegates.  New  York 
sent  96  men  to  the  convention;  Pennsylvania,  81  and  Ohio,  69.  Altogether  there  were  565  dele¬ 
gates  present. 

Moved  by  the  common  determination  to  establish  a  new  party  that  should  stand  free  of 
the  “cross  lines”  that  divided  the  old  parties,  the  delegates  solved  the  difficulties  of  represen¬ 
tation,  of  rules,  and  of  platform.  They  united  in  giving  the  country  a  ringing  declaration  of 
principles,  no  plank  in  which  was  evasive  or  reactionary. 

In  the  same  spirit  they  proceeded  to  the  nomination  of  their  first  presidential  ticket.  On 
the  informal  or  “nominating  ballot,”  John  C.  Fremont,  of  California,  received  359  votes;  John 
McLean,  of  Ohio,  190  votes;  Charles  Sumner,  of  Massachusetts,  2  votes;  Nathaniel  P.  Banks, 
of  Massachusetts,  1  vote,  and  William  H.  Seward,  of  New  York,  1  vote.  On  the  first  formal 
ballot  Fremont  received  all  but  38  votes,  and  his  nomination  was  enthusiastically  made  unani¬ 
mous. 

For  vice  president  practically  all  the  leaders  in  the  convention  were  given  complimentary 
votes.  William  L.  Dayton  of  New  Jersey  stood  highest  on  the  informal  ballot,  with  253  votes 
Abraham  Lincoln  of  Illinois  was  next  with.  110.  For  “harmony  and  union”  Illinois  withdrew 
the  name  of  her  “cherished  favorite”  and  Dayton  was  unanimously  nominated. 

The  ticket  here  named  received  a  jubilant  welcome  all  over  the  country.  The  “new  oarty” 
which  it  headed  was  rejected  by  old  line  leaders  like  Rufus  Choate,  who  held  a  social  and  polit¬ 
ical  position  exactly  like  that  of  Elihu  Root,  today.  But  its  appeal  went  straight  to  the  people. 
And  when  the  votes  were  counted  on  November  1,  it  was  found  that  this  political  fledgling  had 
utterly  destroyed  one  “old  party”  and  allowed  the  election  of  the  Democratic  nominee  only 
on  a  minority  of  the  popular  vote.  The  “new  party”  justified  itself  in  the  first  test.

ALASKA 


What  the 

Newspapers 

Say: 

Without  doubt  the  most  remarkable 
studies  of  animal  life  ever  taken — he 
brings  much  first  hand  information 
regarding  Alaska  and  Siberia.  Dobbs 
proves  himself  both  a  venturesome 
sportsman  and  an  expert  photographer. 

— Chicago  Journal,  July  4,  1912. 

Time  after  time  the  spectators  burst 
into  applause  either  at  the  beauty  of 
the  scene — or  because  of  the  inherent 
human  interest  of  the  pictures. 
—Seattle  Post-Intelligencer,  Feb.  7,  T2. 

The  pictures  are  the  most  wonderful 
ever  taken  and  it  would  be  cheap  at 
$5.00  or  $10.00  to  see  them  as  an  edu¬ 
cation,  but  all  the  time  they  are  ol 
startling  interest  better  than  the  real¬ 
ity  for  they  lack  the  cold  and  the 
blizzards. 

— Albany  Democrat,  May  6,  1912. 

The  presentment  is  so  unique,  so 
peculiarly  rare  in  film  work,  and  so 
full  of  Educational  advantages  that 
it  is  a  practical  loss  to  anyone  miss¬ 
ing  it. 

One  of  the  really  meritorious  shows 
of  the  20th  Century. 

—Astoria  Oregonian,  April,  25,  1912. 

More  intensely  interesting  than  a 
well  acted  drama  for  it  is  a  drama  and 
one  of  the  most  forceful  dramas  that 
occupies  a  part  of  the  big  stage. 

— Tocoma  Ledger,  Dec.  14,  1911. 

The  most  realistic  series  of  moving 
pictures  ever  seen  in  this  city,  taking 
his  spectators  on  an  extensive  trip 
though  the  land  of  ice  and  snow  and 
showing  them  many  rare  and  wonder¬ 
ful  sights. 

— Bulletin,  Phila.,  Mar.  10,  1911. 

Mr.  Dobbs  told  of  the  land  of  the 
midnight  sun ;  and  the  appreciation 
of  the  pictures  displayed  depicting 
the  thrilling  stories  was  evidenced  by 
repeated  applause.

Abraham  Lincoln  Said: 


UTT  is  the  Eternal  Struggle  between 
x  these  two  principals— Right  and 
Wrong— throughout  the  world.  They  are 
the  two  principles  that  have  stood  face  to 
face  from  the  beginning  of  time,  and  will 
ever  continue  to  struggle.  The  one  is  the 
common  right  of  humanity,  and  the  other 
the  divine  right  of  kings.  It  is  the  same 
principle  in  whatever  shape  it  develops 
itself.  It  is  the  same  spirit  that  says :  ‘You 
toil  and  work  and  earn  bread  and  I’ll  eat 
it.’  No  matter  in  what  shape  it  comes, 
whether  from  the  mouth  of  a  king  who 
seeks  to  bestride  the  people  of  his  own 
nation  and  live  by  the  fruit  of  their  labor, 
or  from  one  race  of  men  as  an  apology 
for  enslaving  another  race,  it  is  the  same 
tyrannical  principle.” 

— Abraham  Lincoln

Chicago,  August  5,  1912 


To  the  people  of  the  United  States,  without  regard  to  past  differences,  who,  through  re¬ 
peated  betrayals,  realize  that  today  the  power  of  the  crooked  political  bosses  and  of  the  privi¬ 
leged  classes  behind  them  is  so  strong  in  the  two  old  party  organizations  that  no  helpful 
movement  in  the  real  interests  of  our  country  can  come  out  of  either; 

Who  believe  that  the  time  has  come  for  a  national  progressive  movement — a  nationwide 
movement — on  non-sectional  lines,  so  that  the  people  may  be  served  in  sincerity  and  truth  by 
an  organization  unfettered  by  obligation  to  conflicting  interests; 

Who  believe  in  the  right  and  capacity  of  the  people  to  rule  themselves,  and  effectively  to 
control  all  the  agencies  of  their  government,  and  who  hold  that  only  through  social  and  indus¬ 
trial  justice,  thus  secured,  can  honest  property  find  permanent  protection; 

Who  believe  that  government  by  the  few  tends  to  become,  and  has  in  fact  become,  gov¬ 
ernment  by  the  sordid  influences  that  control  the  few; 

Who  believe  that  only  through  the  movement  proposed  can  we  obtain  in  the  nation  and 
the  several  states  the  legislation  demanded  by  the  modern  industrial  evolution;  legislature 
which  shall  favor  honest  business  and  yet  control  the  great  agencies  of  modern  business  so 
as  to  insure  their  being  used  in  the  interest  of  the  whole  people;  legislation  which  shall  pro¬ 
mote  prosperity  and  at  the  same  time  secure  the  better  and  more  equitable  diffusion  of  pros¬ 
perity;  legislation  which  shall  promote  economic  well  being  of  the  honest  farmer,  wageworker, 
professional  man  and  business  man  alike,  but  which  shall  at  the  same  time  strike  in  efficient 
fashion — and  not  pretend  to  strike — at  the  roots  of  privilege  in  the  world  of  industry  no  less 
than  in  the  world  of  politics; 

Who  believe  that  only  this  type  of  wise  industrial  evolution  will  avert  industrial  revolu¬ 
tion; 

Who  believe  that  wholesome  party  government  can  come  only  if  there  is  wholesome 
party  management  in  a  spirit  of  service  to  the  whole  country,  and  who  hold  that  the  com¬ 
mandment  delivered  at  Sinai,  “Thou  Shalt  Not  Steal”  applies  to  politics  as  well  as  to  business; 

To  all  in  accord  with  these  views  a  call  is  hereby  issued  by  the  provisional  committee 
under  the  resolution  of  the  mass  meeting  held  in  Chicago  on  June  22nd  last,  to  send  each  state 
a  number  of  delegates,  whose  votes  in  the  convention  shall  count  for  as  many  votes  as  the 
state  shall  have  senators  and  representatives  in  congress,  to  meet  in  convention  at  Chicago  on 
the  5th  day  of  August,  1912,  for  the  purpose  of  nominating  candidates  to  be  supported  for  the 
positions  of  president  and  vice-president  of  the  United  States.

In  five  states  in  1892  the  electoral  vote  was 
divided:  California  gave  8  electoral  votes  for 
Cleveland  and  1  for  Harrison  and  Ohio  gave 
1  for  Cleveland  and  22  for  Harrison;  in 
Michigan,  by  the  act  of  the  legislature,  each 
congressional  district  voted  separately  for  an 
elector;  in  Oregon  1  of  the  4  candidates  for 
electors  on  the  peoples’  party  ticket  was  also 
on  the  democratic  ticket;  in  North  Dakota  1 
of  the  2  people’s  party  electors  cast  his  vote 
for  Cleveland,  this  causing  the  electoral  vote 


of  the  state  to  be  equally  divided  among 
Cleveland,  Harrison  and  Weaver.  In  1896 
California  gave  8  electoral  votes  to  McKinley 
and  1  to  Bryan;  Kentucky  gave  12  to  McKin¬ 
ley  and  1  to  Bryan.  In  Maryland,  in  1904,  7 
of  the  presidential  electors  chosen  were  dem¬ 
ocrats  and  1  republican.  In  Maryland,  in 
1908,  the  electoral  vote  was  split,  the  demo¬ 
crats  getting  6  and  the  republicans  1,  but  the 
highest  republican  elector  received  605  votes 
more  than  the  highest  democratic  elector.
